I don't really know cvsup well enough to know just how it compares,
but we do have anonymous rsync of the CVS repository - see
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/sourceware/ for details.

It's roughly equivalent.  CVSup may send less information (and hence be
more efficient) than rsync since it understands CVS repository structure,
and it produces slightly nicer diagnostic output, but for the most part
either are as good.

At present only rsync is available for this :-(  See:
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/overseers/2000/msg00102.html .
My things to do today list includes leaning on someone (....) so that
CVSupd runs on sourceware so that I can do the same thing from up here.

OK, I pulled down rsync and built the socksified version.  It appears to
be working.  To get a replica of the GDB repository, what is the command
to use?

I tried:
% rsync --archive --delete --checksum --compress \
--stats rsync://sourceware.cygnus.com/gdb-cvs .

But that looks awfully small, only 313 files, and mostly the htdocs
stuff.  I must have accessed the wrong module.
